Caring for Dementia, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s at Ashirwad Elders Home

Dementia, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s diseases are progressive neurological conditions that may uniquely challenge any caregiver. Our company is based on compassion, expertise, and a care plan tailored specifically to each person. We ensure your loved one receives care that is safe and nurturing.

Understanding the Conditions:

Dementia: Dementia is a general term that involves progressive loss of cognitive abilities, which affects memory, thinking, language, and decision-making abilities. Alzheimer’s is the most common cause of dementia.

Alzheimer’s Disease: It is an irreversible form of dementia; it is a disease in which the brain cells degenerate or have died. The loss of memory and confusion is possible with everyday tasks.

Parkinson’s Disease: It is a disorder that primarily affects movement and is associated with the nervous system, that results in tremors, stiffness, balance problems, and cognitive changes.

Personalized Care Plan:

Every resident is provided with his or her individual care plan, created to meet the particular needs of each person. These include:

  • Cognitive Stimulation: Daily exercises to enhance memory and mental sharpness, including puzzles, reminiscence therapy, and socialization.
  • Physical Therapy: Gentle exercises to promote mobility and balance, and a resistance to falls, particularly for Parkinson’s patients.
  • Everyday Living Support: Support in bathing, dressing, eating, and personal hygiene with respect to their dignity.
Safety Precautions:
  • 24/7 Surveillance: We have staff that observes the residents day and night, especially those who may wander or have confusion.
  • Safe Location: We provide a secure environment equipped with surveillance cameras to ensure the safety of our residents, minimizing the risk of wandering. Our caring staff is always present to offer assistance and support, creating a warm atmosphere where loved ones can feel at ease.
  • Emergency Care: Immediate medical care is provided in case of emergencies, and personnel are prepared to act in unpredictable situations associated with these conditions.
Nutrition Plan for Cognitive and Neurological Health

Balanced Nutrition: A Weekly Plan for Healthy Living

Nutrition can take a prime role in health management among the residents afflicted with neurological disorders. This nutrition plan prepared by professional dietitians consists of the following:

  • Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Rich with walnuts and flaxseeds, Omega-3 is known to enhance cognitive functions.
  • High-Antioxidant Foods: Include food rich with antioxidants, which are good at minimizing inflammation and promoting healthy brain maintenance. Examples include berries, green leafy vegetables, and nuts.
  • High Fiber Foods: Whole grains, fruits, and veggies to maintain digestive health.
  • Protein-Rich Foods: Beans and legumes to retain muscle mass.
  • Fluid: Hydration is encouraged as confusion worsens with dehydration.
  • Restrict Sugary and Processed Foods: These can cause a surge in energy and mood but would eventually crash, which is not advisable for patients with neurological conditions.
Activation and Social Contact:

Engage, Connect, Thrive: Building a Community of Care and Companionship

Socialization activities are highly required to maintain emotional well-being and slow down the pace of cognitive decline. We offer:

  • Memory Enhancement Games: Puzzles, word games, and music therapy.
  • Group Activity: Interactively developed sessions that create a feeling of community, art, music, and gently moving exercises.
  • Involving Family: We prioritize keeping families connected by providing regular updates on the lives of our loved ones. We allow family members to meet at any time, fostering a supportive and caring environment for everyone.
Emotional Support:

The staff is ready to provide emotional care to the residents as well as their families so that care for such difficult conditions is rendered with empathy and understanding. An open communication channel is maintained to assist the families with every step of the procedure.
